Just had my first visit with a lactation consultant. It was very informative! I mean even though I've breastfed before, it was 6 years ago and it was only one baby. This time there's two. So it's like a whole different ball game. I now know that I'm definitely not making enough milk yet to sustain them without supplementing. So my goal this weekend is to get all the right groceries, remember to eat! And nurse, nurse, nurse, pump, pump, pump. And somewhere in there is sleeping lol!!!
Ladies I called my insurance about breast pump and they said with their insurance in order to get a pump I get a prescription from doctor then I call 3 different numbers to see what my insurance covers but the only thing is I have to wait til baby is born to call and get pump so I want to at least buy a hand pump which do you ladies recommend for hand pump and when I can get a pump from insurance please n thank you 💖💖
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.
my free breast pump is on its way I'm so excited .. so glad that I didn't have to pay so much money for a breast pump
Breast pump covered by insurance
I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
pumping?
Ive only nursed non stop, but i would like to pump so i can go to the store or go out with my husband for an hr. But im nervous to pump. Anyone else? What if i pump and take away his food nd won't have any.
